Epinephrine Injection
Why is this medication prescribed?
Epinephrine injection is used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions caused by insect bites, foods, medications, latex, and other causes. Symptoms of allergic reaction include wheezing, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, hives, itching, swelling, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and loss of bladder control. Epinephrine is in a class of medications called sympathomimetic agents. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and tightening the blood vessels.
How should this medicine be used?
Epinephrine injection comes as a single-dose pre-filled automatic injection device to be injected into the thigh. You should only use it when you are experiencing or are likely to begin experiencing a serious allergic reaction. Talk to your doctor about substances that may cause serious allergic reactions and symptoms of these reactions.
Under certain conditions, you may need more than one epinephrine injection to treat an allergic reaction. Your doctor will tell you if and when you should use a second dose. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use epinephrine injection exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
To use the automatic injection device, follow these steps:
After you use the automatic injection device, follow these steps:
Handle the automatic injection device carefully to avoid accidentally injecting the epinephrine into your hands. If you do accidentally inject the epinephrine into any part of your body except your thigh, go to the nearest emergency room right away.
Other uses for this medicine
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before using epinephrine injection:
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Epinephrine injection may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
Epinephrine injection may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the plastic carrying tube it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it in a dark place at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Pay attention to the expiration date of your automatic injection device, and be sure to always have an unexpired device available. Look at the liquid in the clear window of the device from time to time. Throw away the device if the liquid has changed color, is cloudy, or contains solid pieces, or if the expiration date has passed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
If you are experiencing an allergic emergency and the liquid in your device is discolored or otherwise appears abnormal, consult your doctor. He may tell you to use the device if you cannot get a fresh one quickly.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.

For 2017, the Audi A7 is offered in two models: 3.0T, which features a direct-injection, supercharged V6 with 333 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque; and 3.0 TDI, which features a turbo direct-injection "clean-diesel" V6. That unit produces 240 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Power is put to the ground through an 8-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual controls, for those who'd rather shift gears themselves. It responds well, giving decisive downshifts in fast driving, or smooth, well-masked upshifts in gentle driving. Fuel economy ratings for the A7 3.0T are estimated at 20 mpg city, 30 highway, while the A7 3.0 TDI returns an estimated 25 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.
Both A7 models include the latest, performance-oriented version of Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system, which during normal driving sends about 60 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels but can send more to whichever wheels can best use the traction. The system even aids stable handling near the limit on curvy roads by employing the stability control system and judiciously applying the brakes to one or more wheels. It's enjoyable to hustle down curvy roads, thanks to a variable-boost electromechanical steering system plus a 5-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension that rides somewhat firmly but is just compliant enough for comfort on choppy urban streets.
Audi drive select comes standard, and includes four driving modes: comfort, auto, dynamic and individual. Each setting modifies the feel of the steering, transmission shift points and the way the throttle responds, all to meet certain driving styles.
The beautiful cabin is one of the most stylish on the market. Occupants get firm, supportive seats and a 3-place back seat that's usable even by taller adults, thanks to a carved out area of the headliner allowing just a couple inches of extra head space. The rear hatch also allows more space than a trunk would -- 24.5 cubic feet -- even with the rear seats up in place. Those back seats do fold down when needed, and there's a large trunk pass-through for skis and other longer items.
Inside, the A7 is a luxury car in every detail. There are two different leather upholsteries (Milano or Valcona) offered, both soft and rich. Ash wood veneers are included, or dark brown walnut and brushed aluminum trims are optional, all with chromed bezels and aluminum-like accents, providing some combinations that look stunning either in light or dark themes.
The A7 also includes 3D Google Earth mapping for the navigation system, which allows drivers to see topography and terrain in addition to the tops of trees and rooftops of buildings. Other standout navigation features include Google Voice Local Search that will listen to keywords and return potential local destinations. Audi Connect allows the A7 to become a wireless hot spot, which is capable of connecting up to eight WiFi-enabled devices to the Internet.
Wrapping it all together is Audi's touch-screen-based MMI (Multi-Media Interface), which includes a rotary button/knob as well as hot buttons for some commonly accessed functions. There's also one Audi exclusive: a scratch pad (called MMI touch) that allows the user to draw out letters to quickly enter navigation destinations or other inputs.
Among the top options offered on the A7 are a 14-speaker Bose sound system or, for audiophiles who want the best, a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound system with 15 speakers and 1,300 watts of amplifier power.
A high-performance version -- the S7 -- includes the same level of luxury and refinement present in the A7 but with a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 450 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It comes connected to a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission. Adaptive air suspension, 19-inch wheels, and a 630-watt Bose surround stereo are all included as well, and the S7 offers seating for four.
Rounding out the family is the RS7. It goes several steps further than the S7 by offering 560 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from the 4.0L V8, with 0 to 60 mph coming in just 3.7 seconds on the way to a top speed of 174 mph. The RS7 utilizes an 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and is equipped with specially tuned adaptive air suspension and dynamic electromechanical power steering. New for 2017 is the RS7 Performance trim. Making 605 hp and 553 pound-feet of torque, the RS7 Performance has enough power to reach a claimed top speed of 190 mph!

Advil hearts menstrual cramps
In what seems an unusual marketing approach, Advil's South Korean consumer website is representing menstrual pain with a heart. At least, that's what's depicted on the Pfizer online property.
What's more, the heart is being formed by a man, in this case Olympic swimmer Park Tae-Hwan, who is shown making the symbol with his hands to demonstrate so-called "period pain" (pictured).
Tae-Hwan takes the body language metaphor further, depicting other types of pain the NSAID purports to address: his hands at his temples (headache), a hand brushed up against a cheek (dental pain, or toothache), and arms behind back (back pain).
As to the connection between a heart and menstrual pain, which, after all, is a feminine problem, or why the drugmaker chose to cross gender lines and get a man for the job, Pfizer offered the following statement: "Advil helps consumers relieve minor aches and pains due to headache, backache, toothache, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, minor pain of arthritis, the common cold and temporarily reduces fever. It is available in over 45 countries."
Tae-Hwan—or "Marine Boy"—as he's sometime referred, is a member of the South Korean national swimming team. He won a gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle and picked up a silver medal in the 200-meter freestyle at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Pfizer launched Advil's Liqui-Gel formulation in South Korea this past December. Worldwide sales for Pfizer's consumer healthcare unit came in at $943 million for 2013, a 2% increase vs. the year prior.

I paid off the last of my debt in 2007, quit my day job in 2008, and have been working to build wealth ever since. As I wrote early last year, I'm in the Third Stage of personal finance: I've paid off my debt, built a cash cushion in savings, and am maxing out my retirement accounts. And after doing all of these things, I have money left over to spend on comic books and travel. I'm a lucky man.
For the past year, GRS readers have been asking me to write more about the Third Stage of personal finance. What's it like there? What choices does a person face? What sorts of things does she do with her money?
Though I've wanted to respond to these requests, I haven't.
- For one thing, I've felt like there isn't a whole lot to say. Mostly, the Third Stage of personal finance is like the earlier stages, but without the debt. I'm still pretty careful with my cash, but instead of saving to pay off past purchases, or saving my emergency fund, I'm now saving for other goals — like travel.
- For another, I'm reluctant to talk about some of my spending. It's not that I think I'm making poor choices — I'm not — but that taken out of context, some of the numbers look shocking. It's very difficult to put yourself in another person's shoes, after all.
Today, though, I'm going to write a little bit about the Third Stage of personal finance. I'm even going to share some actual numbers. All I ask is that when you see these numbers, you understand that I'm making conscious decisions to spend this money, and I'm sacrificing other things in my life to make the purchases I describe.
The cost of fitness
Tonight was Guys' Night Out. Or Geek Night. Or, as my sister-in-law calls it, Dragon and Troll night. Every month, my band of geeky friends gets together for some sort of activity. It started out as a chance to play Dungeons and Dragons, but it's morphed into an ever-changing variety of events.
Tonight, for example, we headed into downtown Portland to watch the Portland Timbers take on the Minnesota Stars. The Timbers are the local pro soccer team, for which I bought a pair of season tickets last spring. (I paid $435 for two general admission tickets.) We geeks didn't watch the game from the stadium, though; instead, we headed next door to the Multnomah Athletic Club. One of our group is a member, and he signed us in so we could watch from the club's balcony, which overlooks the south end of the stadium.
The Multnomah Athletic Club is amazing. It's posh — it oozes wealth. It looks like the sort of place where you might have to wear a suit and tie just to jog on the treadmill. Everything is dark wood and brass and wall-to-wall carpeting. The attendants at the door are in suits and ties. It's not a very J.D. place.
"Wow," I said to Josh as we waited for the game to start. "This place must be expensive."
"I knew somebody was going to bring that up," he said. "It is expensive, but my parents have been members for almost forty years. It only cost them $700 back then."
"$700 for what?" I asked. "Per month?"
"No, $700 for the initiation fee," Josh said. "I think the fee is getting close to $10,000 per family now."
"$10,000?!?!?" I asked. "Just to join?"
"Yeah," said Josh. "And there's a waiting list to get in. Plus, once you do join, dues are about $200 a month."
My mind boggled. I was about to say, "That's outrageous!" when I realized: I'm paying $200 a month for my gym, too.
Whenever I talk about Crossfit and the amazing things it's done for my health, I always leave out the cost. Yes, I've lost 30 pounds. Yes, I've dropped from a size 38 to a size 32. Yes, I'm stronger than I've ever been in my life. But this progress has come with a cost: $200 a month, to be precise. You know what? It's a cost I'm happy to pay, and one I plan to continue paying. If this system is working — and it is — then it's worth every penny. If I'm not fit, nothing else matters. (But again, taken out of context, this expense would look ludicrous.)
So, I admitted to Josh that I was paying just as much as he was for a gym membership. (But without any initiation fee, of course.) We stopped chatting as the match began.
The cost of fun
We watched the Timbers and Stars play to a 2-2 draw in front of a large crowd. As the game wound down, I used my binoculars to spy my seats for next year. In 2011, the Portland Timbers will join Major League Soccer, and last month I spent $1410 to purchase a pair of tickets on the mid-field line. I'm eager for the season to start, and the current season isn't even over!
Walking back to my car after the game, I thought about that expense: $1410 for a pair of season tickets for a soccer club. A couple of years ago, I would have thought that was insane. I wouldn't have been able to view it as a justifiable expense, no matter how much I had in savings, no matter what sorts of sacrifices I made in other parts of my life. I would have condemned it as lifestyle inflation.
Maybe it is lifestyle inflation. But it's also an example of conscious spending. I love soccer, and I can afford the tickets. I'm meeting all of my financial obligations. When you've paid off your debt, saved for emergencies, and set aside money for retirement, whatever's left over is yours to do with as you please, right? In my case, that means that if I want to buy Portland Timbers tickets, I can. I have no regrets.
These are the sorts of things I think about in the Third Stage of personal finance.
The cost of travel
There are still financial dilemmas in the Third Stage. Being here doesn't mean I can afford everything I want. In fact, I'm always picking and choosing. (It's just that the things I'm choosing between are sometimes more expensive than before.)
For example, Kris and I just learned about an opportunity to travel to Africa in February. Our college has put together a package tour for alumni that includes visits to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. It's a 19-day tour and it costs $5600 per person.
I've been begging Kris to go to South Africa for a l-o-n-g time. I've wanted to visit ever since I read Cry, the Beloved Country. (Jolie Guillebeau doesn't help by always reminding me that South Africa is her favorite place she's ever visited.) Kris has always steadfastly refused to consider a trip to South Africa — until now. She actually wants to go on this tour, and so do I.
The problem is that even though we're in the Third Stage of personal finance, $5600 (per person!) is a lot of money for a trip. Especially considering we've already shelled out a lot for our upcoming journey to France and Italy.
Can we afford to take on the expense of traveling to South Africa in February? And if we can, is it something we really want to do? As I drove home from the game tonight, I thought about it.
First, I considered how to come up with the cash. We've already funded our trip to Europe, so that's not an issue. I just need to figure out how to come up with $5600 by February. (Because Kris and I keep separate finances, she has to come up with her own $5600. That's not really going to be a problem, though. Remember: She's always been the responsible one, and she has tons of money in savings.)
I considered my options:
- Last week, I canceled my Cycle Oregon registration. Cycle Oregon is a week-long bicycle tour of the state, and I've always wanted to do it. But after riding 100 miles in one day last month, I realized I have zero desire to bike 500 miles in one week. I'll be getting back about $750, which I could immediately set aside to save for Africa.
- I could save up some of the money by going on a comic fast. I give myself a monthly comic-book budget, and if I were to reduce this to zero (or something near zero) for six months, I could accumulate a few hundred dollars.
- I could borrow from my Mini Cooper fund. Yes, I bought a used Mini last year, but since then, I've been saving for an eventual replacement. The car is running great at the moment, so it's probably safe to pull some money from this account.
- Similarly, I could borrow from my tax account. I'm not sure I've mentioned it before, but I have a separate savings account in which I save for taxes due in April. (Because I'm self-employed, I'm responsible for setting this money aside myself.) I could borrow a few months of contributions from this account, and then double my savings efforts in the spring.
- And most drastically, I could conceivably borrow from my emergency fund. It sits at $20,000 now, which is more than ample for most short-term needs. If I drew it down to $14,000 or $16,000 or $18,000, odds are I'd be able to replenish it without a problem.
Plus, I could make sacrifices in other areas of my life: I could eat out less often, I could make better use of the public library, and so on. At its heart, this is the same sort of decision I used to make, but on a different scale. Instead of trying to scrounge up $500 per person to spend a week in Victoria, B.C., I'm now trying to find $5,000 per person to spend three weeks in Africa.
Again, is this lifestyle inflation? If so, is it wrong? And do Kris and I really want to spend this much money on a three-week vacation? I don't know, and I'm not sure how to find an answer.
Life in the third stage
These are the sorts of things I think about in the Third Stage of personal finance. Yes, we're still growing and canning our own food, still looking for cheap entertainment, still shopping at thrift stores, and still asking for discounts whenever possible. Now, though, these aren't techniques to help me get out of debt. Instead, they're the steps that allow me to spend $200 a month for Crossfit, $1410 for soccer season tickets — and maybe $5600 to travel to Africa.
I'd love to hear from other folks who have reached this stage. What sorts of things do you spend on? Do you sometimes think, "Man, ten years ago, I would have thought this was outrageous?" Do you still make sacrifices in order to buy the things you want? Do you still practice frugality? If you're in the Third Stage of personal finance, what's life like for you? (And if you're not there, do you find this sort of spending inspiring? Or is it intimidating? Infuriating?)

What Your Tweets and Posts Tell Recruiters Could Keep You From Getting the Job
Would you think twice about sharing a mindless "I'm so bored" post on social media if you knew that research shows that people who do so experience higher rates of heart attacks and strokes? What's worse, research that ties social media use to emotional stability/instability is making its way into the hands of people that you probably don't want to be privy to such information: recruiters, hiring managers, and employers. Here's what you need to know about what your social media sharing is saying about you.

Editor's note: MainSail is CNN's monthly sailing show, exploring the sport of sailing, luxury travel and the latest in design and technology.
ENSENADA, Mexico (CNN) -- It's what every sailor remembers: The fear of the first overnight race. The moment takes on bigger meaning when the seaman is a mere 9 years old.
"It's really cool having a shift overnight," said Jake Mayol, a third-grader from Aliso Viejo, California.
Frightening too.
"It was pretty scary because when the adults went up on the bow, you were worried that they were going to fall in," said Jake, whose long blonde hair casts him as a year-round boy of summer.
He and three other youngsters -- including two girls, both 13 -- joined their fathers on a 46-ft bluewater cruiser in a 125-mile sailrace along the Pacific coast that describes itself as the "world's largest international yacht race."
The Newport to Ensenada International Yacht Race makes that claim because it begins in California and ends in Mexico. The regatta offers vistas of mountains meeting the sea and ends in Mexico's wine country, where Ensenada produces 90% of the nation's wine.
The race fielded 204 boats this April -- an increase over recent years but still well below the almost 700 boats that competed in the 1980s.
Past participants included celebrities and great sailors alike, such as actors Humphrey Bogart and Buddy Ebsen, the late Steve Fossett, America's Cup winner Dennis Conner, and Walt Disney Co. scion Roy Disney.
Nautical memories
For 9-year-old Jake, his achievement marked the third generation of Mayols completing the race, said his father, Erik, 48, a tile and stone contractor. Jake's grandfather completed the race 20 times, said Erik Mayol.

"It was really special for me to be able to share it with him," recalls father Erik Mayol, who added he's raced the event 35 times.
"There were a few moment when they were not completely comfortable, which is completely normal, and it's our job to make them feel safe."
Those moments arose when overnight winds hit 17 knots, and the boat turns knocked the sleeping youths to the cabin sole.
"It's really hard to go down and sleep for a couple of hours and then get back up for your next shift," said Cole Pomeroy, 12, a 6th grader from Newport Beach.
His father, Karl, 48, an executive with an air conditioning manufacturer, described the experience as a lifetime memory -- "a great thing to share with your son."
Or daughter.

One girl, Lolo Foster, 13, a 7th grader from Corona Del Mar, California, said the parents entertained the youngsters with ghost stories, creating a playful banter on the Stella Maris.
"I saw this boat at night in silhouette, and it looked like a pirate ship," Lolo recalled.
Another girl, Sammy Pickell, 13, also a 7th grader from Corona Del Mar, marveled at the marine life.
"We saw a lot of dolphins and they were doing tricks for us close to the boat," Sammy said. "They were jumping up and going in front of us and crossing in front of the bow."
Safety at sea
The fathers of the four children said their parental anxieties were allayed by how skipper Tom Madden outfitted his sailboat with redundancies for safety.
Those concerns are understandable as of late. The perils of sail racing have been on the mind of many Pacific sailors as the past year has been particularly tragic on the California coast. In last year's Newport-to-Ensenada regatta, four sailors were killed when their 37-foot boat, named Aegean, struck the north end of the unlighted North Coronado Island off the Mexican coast at night, according to authorities and race organizers.
And just last month British sailracer Andrew "Bart" Simpson, 36, was killed training for the America's Cup aboard the 72-foot Artemis Racing, which capsized in San Francisco Bay.

The risks of coastal sailing carry the reward of thrills, adventure, and a coastal horizon that can mesmerize the sailor for the entire journey.
"This is one of the more prominent races in the world," said Chuck Iverson, commodore of the Newport Ocean Sailing Association, which has hosted the sailrace since its inception in 1947. "We have had world-class sailors in this race."
Race organizers work with the governor and tourism official in Baja California, Mexico, "to make sure everybody has a good time," said vice commodore Dave Shockley.
The post-race party recently went upscale, moving to the elegant Hotel Coral and Marina from a downtown Ensenada motel in need of a coat of paint. The old motel was a longtime sentimental favorite, where race organizers maintained a tradition of using a bucket to pass results and notes up and down the outdoor floors.

Economics of sailing
In the 1980s, the competition lured about 680 boats, its peak. The more than 200 boats in this year's race marked an increase from recent years, especially since the recession hit in 2008. In 2011, the race experienced its lowest turnover ever, 175 sailboats, Iverson said.
"When the downturn came in 2008, it really affected us, and the number of boats declined," Iverson said.
Some sailors and their families had also dropped from participation because of the intense U.S.-Mexico security and lengthy border checks, prompted by cartel violence and smuggling.
"No one wants to drive down here anymore," said sailracer Peter Bretschger, past commodore of the Balboa Yacht Club, a regatta co-sponsor. However, he and several hundred partiers weren't daunted, evidenced in the after race celebration in the hotel courtyard.

This year's contest, with its finish line now located off the hotel marina, enjoyed extraordinary winds: a 60-ft trimaran, the Loe Real from San Diego, didn't even have to sail overnight and finished just before sunset, setting a race record for second fastest time ever for a multi-hull, at 7:03:51.
The multi-hull record still belong to adventurer Fossett, whose 60-ft Stars and Stripes catamaran completed the course in 6:46:40 in 1998.
It wasn't just children showing a trailblazing spirit in the race.
Rhonda Toller was among the small but growing number of women racers.
"I grew up power boating my entire life and I always dreamed of sailing," she said. She's now been sailing for six years and owns a 57-ft sailboat. "It's just really fun to come to Mexico," she added.

Surrounded by rugged mountains and hills, Kathmandu, the modern capital and economic centre of Nepal, sprawls across the bowl-shaped Kathmandu valley with a million inhabitants, the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the country. As an ancient trade hub linking India and Tibet, it boasts more than 2000 years of history. Today, Kathmandu is the banking and business centre of Nepal, a rapidly modernising urban metropolis punctuated with glassy skyscrapers as much as ancient pagodas, palaces, stupas, and sculptures, all inspired by Buddhist and Hindu traditions. As the stage for a vibrant calendar of annual festivals, Kathmandu is a highly energised and visually compelling centre of Nepalese culture.
Home to some fifty temples and palaces, Durbar Square is the spiritual core of Kathmandu and a vital bastion of Nepalese identity. It has been an important public space for the best part of a millennia, beginning with the construction of a palace in 1000AD. Today, the square's architecture spans four kingdoms and several centuries – seeing all of it requires a full day. Early morning is the ideal time to begin, when the Square is comes to life with men working on the monuments and Hindu women making offerings of incense and flowers to the gods.
Near the banks of the Vishnumati River lies one of the most sacred sites of Buddhist worship in Kathmandu: Swayambhunath. Aside from containing The Stupa that all subsequent Nepalese stupas were modelled after, it is home to numerous shrines and fine examples of decorative religious artwork. The Stupa – which supplies commanding views over the city - stands ten metres tall and has a diameter of twenty metres. On each of its four sides there is a unique shrine dedicated to one of the meditational Buddhas. Swayambhunath is the setting for several major festivals; the Tibetan New Year in February or March and the Buddha's Birthday in April or May are both celebrated here with much joy and excitement.
A pivotal site of importance to Hindus in Kathmandu is the revered pilgrimage site of Pashupatinath, where thousands travel every year to pay homage to Shiva, the shepherd of beasts. For non-Hindu visitors, the best place to experience the main temple is from the steps above the eastern bank of the Bagmati River. Here, it is possible to see a row of eleven shrines, and to have a clear line of sight to the two-storied pagoda that is the heart of the complex.

Why Multitasking Doesn't Get You Ahead
Have you ever taken inventory of the number of activities you've completed in one day? Switching between a text message, social media post, email, phone call, and getting your work done? Do you applaud your ability to manage tasks simultaneously, being responsive while getting your work done quickly and accurately?
Well, hold your applause.
It turns out that switching between topics and tasks all day long is actually taking a toll on your brain function, accuracy and, ultimately, productivity.
It doesn't take a social scientist to figure out that even the brainiest CPAs probably have a hard time processing more than one set of information at a time. Our brains just don't work that way, yet we're still programmed to get more done in a shorter amount of time, so there really isn't any choice but to multitask, right?
Not so much. According to a recent Fox News article, multitasking actually wastes more time than it saves because:
- you make more mistakes and have to redo work;
- you don't retain information because your brain is focused on more than one thing; and
- it takes longer to do things because you are jumping back and forth so often.
Multitasking also hurts relationships. If you are having a meal with a friend and keep checking your email, text, or Facebook status, you aren't able to focus on that friend. And, it can be dangerous, of course. According to the National Safety Council, driving while texting or talking on the cell phone causes 1.6 million accidents a year. While there are many ways to multitask, we'll focus on two of the most prevalent: cell phones and email.
A Cell Phones Warning
We all know someone who's had an accident while driving and talking on the phone, but did you realize that talking on your cell phone can also decrease your observation skills? A study from Western Washington University tested cell phone users' observation skills by placing a unicycle-riding clown on campus. When asked, "did you notice anything unusual while walking across campus?," they found the following results: 33% of pedestrians who were listening to music or walking alone mentioned they had just seen a clown on a unicycle, while nearly 60% of people who were walking with a friend mentioned the clown. Yet, among people who had been talking on the cell phone, only 8% remembered the clown.
Email Causes Multitasking Stress
Although it's not nearly as risky as texting while driving, you might not be surprised that email causes extreme stress. Multitasking between email and other work can impact your day in very negative ways. Studies show that the average professional spends about 23% of the day emailing. Inspired by that statistic, researchers from the University of California at Irvine cut 13 employees off from email for five days, strapped heart monitors to their chests, and tracked their computer use. The results? They showed less physical signs of stress and were able to focus on each of their work tasks for longer periods of time. They switched screens to check email less often, thereby minimizing multitasking.
In a related study, researchers from Loughborough University in the United Kingdom measured the physical and psychological effects of email on 30 government employees. They tracked the blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol (a hormone related to stress) levels of the study participants, who were also asked to keep a diary of their work days. The results: although a single email was as equally stressful as a phone call, the amount of email that came at the study subjects throughout the day meant that email ended up being far more stressful.
Change Your Work Habits
Now that you know multitasking decreases your ability to filter irrelevant tasks, uses up a lot of your working memory, and decreases accuracy, what do you to do to stop it? After all, you may pride yourself on your responsiveness to phone calls and emails.
Instead of constantly switching between tasks, implement the 20-minute rule. Turn off the cell phone, especially email "beep" notifications, and allow yourself to focus on the task at hand for 20 minutes. Then, switch tasks.
- Avoid multitasking during meetings. Although meetings may sometimes seem irrelevant, focus on the meeting and not on your laptop, email, or any other technology. The meeting outcome will be more efficient.
- Say "not right now." There's nothing wrong with saying "not right now" or even "no" when you're busy with something and tasked with responding to a particular matter. If you multitask and try to respond to every question or comment via cell phone and/or email, you'll never get ahead.
We're all operating under the misconception that multitasking makes us more productive, when the truth of the matter is it compromises the quality of your work and your brain power!
Technology has a lot to with multitasking. If you were stranded on a desert island with access to only ONE piece of technology, what would it be and why would it be important to you? Comment below.

Distance formula:
Distance between two points
If you recall the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is actually a variation of that theorem.
Let's look deeper into this with the points on the above graph. We have two points, one at x1, y1 and another one x2, y2. To calculate the distance between them, join the points together and form a right-angled triangle that uses the two points as its corners.
The lengths of the two sides of the right-angled triangle are easy to find with the help of the x- and y- axis. Simply subtract the x-values and the y-values to find the lengths.
Now that we have the lengths of the two sides of the triangle, do you recall how we find its hypotenuse? We use the formula: c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Therefore, if we were to plug in the points of (x1, y1), and (x2, y2), then move the square over to the other side of the equation so that it becomes a square root, we'll get the formula for distance.
What is the distance formula?
d is used to represent distance in this case. This formula is always true and useful when you've got two points. As long as you know where they are on a graph, you can plot them, then draw a right-angled triangle to help you find the length of its hypotenuse. This makes use of the Pythagorean Theorem which we learned back when studying geometry. The hypotenuse is the distance you're looking for between the two points! Now you've learned how the distance formula works.
Key things to remember when calculating for distance is: 1) Do not mismatch your x and y values. Ensure that you've matched them up properly in the right order, such that if you use a the x-value in point A, match it up with the x-value in point B when doing subtracting. Then for the second part of the formula, make sure you're again using the y-value from point A and then subtracting the y-value from point B. 2) Simplify what is inside the parentheses before carrying out squaring. That's the correct order in doing math problems, and holds true in the distance formula. 3) Remember to write down the square root symbol. It's a good habit to have and if you leave it till the end, you may forget to put it back in and therefore get the wrong answer.
Examples for finding distance
Let's put the formula for distance into use with an example question.
Question: What is the distance between A(4,2) and B(6,8)?
We know that we'll be using both the x-values and the y-values. Simply plug in the numbers into the distance formula. It'll look something like the following:
In the above, we consider B as point 2, and consistently use point 2's coordinates before A's in the formula. Don't forget to square the differences between the X's and Y's, and you'll get a number under a square root. Make sure to simplify the answer so that certain numbers can be brought out from the radical symbol.
How about if we were to do horizontal or vertical lines? Would the distance formula work? The short answer is that it will. However, there's an easier way to do this. When dealing with horizontal lines, the length of the line is simply the difference between the two points' x-coordinates. In a similar fashion, a vertical line's length can be found by subtracting one of the y-coordinates with the other. You can feel free to try this out yourself with coordinates from a vertical or horizontal line, and you'll find that you'll get the same answer by just subtracting the coordinates and using the distance formula.
For a recap on the concept, here's a good resource for you to go through. If you wanted to play around with different coordinates and see how the distance formula works, try it out on this interactive chart!

Dave Sabol, a math teacher at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, says he hasn't lived a particularly fascinating life, but, like many of us, he has bunch of stories to tell.
"Nothing that crazy has ever happened to me," says Sabol, who lives in Fairview Park. "But I, like anybody else, has really interesting things that are just sort of anecdotes or interesting experiences that if you developed a little bit more actually could be made into a good story."
A longtime fan of podcasts that feature storytelling, such as "Risk!," "The Moth" and "This American Life," Sabol has started a live storytelling event, Told, the third edition of which happens at 7 p.m. June 11 at Market Garden Brewery in Cleveland's Ohio City Neighborhood.
Already an established type of entertainment event in other cities — Sabol says a friend in Baltimore tells him one event fills a 500-seat theater — storytelling shows seemed like they should work here.
"I had searched for a long time in Cleveland to see if there was a (storytelling) community in Cleveland or shows in Cleveland that existed that would do this kind of thing," he says, "and every time I'd search there was never anything."
Told, one of at least a handful of Northeast Ohio storytelling events that now exists, stems from Sabol's involvement with Cleveland Bridge Builders, a yearlong program through the Cleveland Leadership Center that, Sabol says, helps young professionals increase their civic engagement. Those in the program need to make a short pitch for a community project and, having already been thinking about a storytelling event, Sabol went with his idea for Told.
The idea garnered positive feedback from others in the program, and the first Told happened in February at Visible Voice Books in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood. A second Told, which drew more people, happened at Market Garden in April.
LISTEN UP: Hear a few stories from Told
The format of Told involves two featured storytellers, each spinning a yarn for about 10 to 12 minutes. The rest of the hour — Sabol, who emcees and tells a couple of short stories, is considering lengthening the event — is filled out by audience members who put their names in a hat and wait to see if they're picked at random to tell a tale of maybe four to six minutes in length.
Sabol believes that uncertainty of whether someone will go on — or even whether the person you're sitting next to and chatting with at Told may soon be up at the podium — adds to the experience.
"It's almost like a karaoke thing to some extent," he says over lunch at Market Garden. "It really definitely keeps an interesting energy going."
Each Told has a theme to which the stories are intended to fit. The first two were "I Said That?" and "What are the Odds?" while the theme for the upcoming Told is "Home, Sweet Home."
Sabol believes the format is very accessible to a wide range of folks.
"It's the kind of thing where people hear that and think, 'Oh, I have a story that could work in this type of environment. Maybe I only have one, but I do have something that could work' — which doesn't happen with a lot of formats," he says. "People don't watch a movie and say, 'I could make a movie just like that.'"
Another Northeast Ohio storytelling event, Keep Talking, uses a slightly different format. Taking place the first Wednesday evening of each month, Keep Talking features about five storytellers, all of whom having submitted and had their stories approved in advance by organizers Zachariah Durr of Cleveland and Adam Richard of Medina, who both do some work as comics.
Richard says in a phone interview that he had been thinking about such an event, so when a comedy variety show, "Super Show," outgrew the basement of the Happy Dog, doing a storytelling event there was a good way to keep their relationship with the hot dog-heavy bar and restaurant going.
Richard, also a fan of some of the aforementioned podcasts, wanted a wide range of people to participate, and his wish has been granted.
"These are not performers. They're not stand-up comics. They're not actors," he says. "I wanted real stories from real people in everyday life."
And although his and Durr's backgrounds are in comedy, they did not want to create something that always had to be funny.
"At a comedy show, the intention is to get the crowd to laugh. With Keep Talking, I just want the audience to connect with the storyteller in some kind of way," he says. "We just want to hear really good stories, and they can be serious or funny or whatever the story wants to be."
A good story, of course, can be many things, as was the case with a gay man talking about coming out to his parents.
"That story was an emotional one for him, but there were a lot of funny moments, too," Richard says. "And that's what makes it real."
When they select stories for Keep Talking, Richard and Durr, who have day jobs, try to work with the storytellers before the event.
"It's as much as Zachariah and I can spare and as much as they're willing to receive," Richard says. "The only thing we expect out of these stories is that they're true and that they've happened to the storyteller."
You can expect to hear more experienced storytellers at events hosted by WRAPPS — Western Reserve Association for the Preservation & Perpetuation of Storytelling. One such person is Barb Sutton of North Ridgeville, who's worked as a storyteller and humorist since the 1980s, performing around the country and even on cruise ships.
The next WRAPPS event is "Evening of Storytellers," 7 p.m. June 20 at Beaver Creek Reservation, 913 N. Lake St., Amherst. While one storyteller who participates regularly likes animal stories, Sutton prefers to talk about people.
"Every storyteller is different," Sutton says. "There are no two of us who tell similar stories."
Sutton says some of her stories are personal tales, but even then she employs creative license.
"Even though they're from my life, I change the details around," she says. "It's like every time you tell the story of a fish you caught, it gets bigger and bigger and then it's finally a shark.
"All stories are embellished."
She says people typically don't attend an event for the first time and tell a story, instead usually getting a taste and then getting interested in doing it in the future.
At both Told and Keep Talking, much of what happens after the event is as important to the organizers as what happens during.
"(People think) 'Wow, I know exactly what that person was going through.' After every show, I've seen storytellers get hugs from audience members," Richard says.
"The best part is," says Sabol, "a lot of people will come up to me afterwards and say, 'Oh my God, that reminded me of this one story hat happened to me,' and they'll launch into a story."

Learn to tell
Interested in becoming a better storyteller? Told, in conjunction with Thrive Cleveland, offers Storycraft workshops, facilitated by writer and storyteller Jack Ricchiuto of Cleveland.
The workshop is based on Ricchiuto's book "The Stories That Connect Us" and, the writer says, can help folks who want to participate in an event such as Told, want to be better storytellers for professional purposes, such as sales, or merely want to gain a better understanding of narrative structure.
"Basically, what the workshops address is how to build your story portfolio. How do you identify stories you want to tell, and then how do you construct stories so your story is actually a good one," he says, on the phone from Washington, D.C. "We also take a look at how do you interview other people to get their stories. Some of our favorite stories are other people's stories, not our own."
The next workshop is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. June 7 at Market Avenue Wine Bar, 2521 Market Ave., Cleveland. The cost is $45 for the complete three-hour "intensive" workshop, although there is an option to attend the 90-minute introduction only for $25.

Mad Men star Jon Hamm is still reeling from 2013 gossip about his mad manhood after he was photographed with what appeared to be an impressive bulge in his suit at a Hollywood party.
While many guys would love the speculation they were well-hung, the actor insists he isn't happy with chatter about his privates.
Still embarrassed by the fuss, he tells the new issue of Men's Fitness magazine, "Would you want people walking up to you and pointing at your d**k...? I can't believe I'm still talking about this... The fact that I'm painted as this exhibitionist is a little annoying.
"It's become a meme (behavior trait). Being someone who people want to photograph, you have to open yourself up to the positive and negative. It is what it is. If I get mad at it I'll look like a douchebag. But it's silly."

What's next for the smartphone display? We've already got pixel densities far higher than the human eye can detect, amazing color reproduction, and panels are thinner and more energy efficient. We're at the point where innovation in the display space is going to either come to a grinding halt, or explode as companies can push more money into research and development. There's no definitive answer as to what the next big thing in smartphone display technology will be, but companies like Samsung and LG are banking on flexible OLED technology.
During an investor call, LG's vice president of mobile Yoon Bu-hyun has said that not only is LG's mobile division working on flexible OLED display technology, by the fourth quarter of this year, the company plans on delivering a phone utilizing it. As much as we'd like to see a phone that can be twisted back and fourth, rung out like a towel, something even close to that is realistically years away. The display panel might be there, but other important components most certainly are not.
As a more realistic idea of what LG may announce, look back to the prototype Samsung demoed at CES 2013. Samsung had a phone on the floor that featured a wrap around display. It's nothing breathtaking, but it's a start. And with the power of Android, there's bound to be some interesting things both Samsung and LG could do with a similar handset. Can you think of anything better? Let us know in the comments.

Chemical Information Call-in: Round One
carbon nanotubes
For the first call-in, DTSC requested information about carbon nanotubes (also known as "CNT"). DTSC searched scientific literature and publicly available data sources, hosted a roundtable discussion, and participated in a webinar as part of the call-in process for obtaining information about carbon nanotubes.
DTSC sent a formal request letter on January 22, 2009, to 26 companies which were identified as producers or importers of carbon nanotubes in or to California. The letter required manufacturers and importers to submit their responses within one year. DTSC sent a follow-up letter on February 16, 2010, to remind companies that had not yet responded.

In keeping with our mission to educate people in the West about their brothers and sisters in the East, ONE magazine has featured an article profiling one of the many churches of the East in each edition since 2005. In the September 2008 issue, we profiled the Armenian Catholic Church:
Armenia's Christian roots run deep. According to tradition, the apostles Bartholomew and Thaddeus first evangelized the kingdom, then a buffer state between the rival empires of the Persians and Romans. After years of persecution, Christianity took hold when Gregory, the "illuminator of the Armenians," baptized King Tiridates III in 301. The king proclaimed Christianity the official religion of the state, making Armenia the first Christian nation.
Looking both east and west, the Armenian Church digested the philosophical positions and theological vocabularies of the great learning centers of the ancient world — Alexandria and Antioch, Athens and Rome, Constantinople and Seleucia, Edessa and Nisibis — and began the development of an alphabet for the Armenian vernacular even as an independent Armenian nation expired.
Though conscious of the great Christological controversies that rocked the universal church, the Armenians could not participate in these debates, especially the Council of Chalcedon (451). Appeasing Persian oppression, the leaders of the Armenian Church declared their civil allegiance to the Persian emperor, but stressed their spiritual submission to Christ.

In the darkest hour of the darkest age, Christian monks developed a meditation tradition unique in the Western world. A 14th-century author described their profound mystical experience as entering the cloud of unknowing. Yet during the 500 years after this great monastic flowering, this precious tradition and the direct path to union with God it described was virtually lost.
For decades Father Thomas Keating, together with other monks, examined this great question: Could anyone enter the cloud of unknowing through a prayer practice specifically created to attain it? Keating reached back in time for clues about the prayer forms of the Christian mystics. He synthesized his work into a Centering Prayer method that has helped thousands of seekers travel the contemplative path to divine union.
From infancy, Father Keating teaches, we accumulate emotional layers, or programs, as a result of traumatic experiences. The practice of Centering Prayer engages directly with the unconscious and loosens old traumas that hinder your spiritual development. This form of divine therapy draws from a contemplative method that has brought profound inner transformation into the lives of thousands of practitioners.
The Contemplative Journey is Father Thomas Keating's great masterwork: a complete curriculum devoted to a Christian path for achieving the still point of resting in God.

Really good. Really good for anyone raised Catholic, although not intended just for Catholics or even Christians, in my opinion. And that's what I really like about it.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Fr Keating. Looking forward to getting part 2 of the series. It is more like a series of lectures by him than a cohesive course. However, I really have no complaint.

Fr Keating is a wise and insightful guide to those who seek to find the living core of the Christian contemplative tradition. His openness to the insights of psychology and respect for the wisdom traditions of other traditions are evident in these presentations.

Perhaps one of the clearest and deepest descriptions of why prayer is an essential aspect of being Christian. Yet in my experience Fr. Keating explains how The Contemplative Journey is the Human Journey. With humor, compassion and a special gift for story telling this collection of 24 CD's is life changing and could be listened to many times over many years as they are timeless and continually transformational.

The most-loved Caterpillar in the world is hungry…Very Hungry
Counting with the Very Hungry Caterpillar for iPad
What is it about?
The most-loved Caterpillar in the world is hungry…Very Hungry! Find and eat all of the Caterpillar's favorite foods while you learn the fundamentals of numbers and counting, in this beautiful, interactive math game for kids aged two years and up. (Even adults will like playing level five!)
App Details
App Store Description
The most-loved Caterpillar in the world is hungry…Very Hungry! Find and eat all of the Caterpillar's favorite foods while you learn the fundamentals of numbers and counting, in this beautiful, interactive math game for kids aged two years and up. (Even adults will like playing level five!)
This game has five levels of increasing difficulty. There's a variety of things to try and different skills to practice, all building a basic math foundation. The Caterpillar will ask you to eat familiar foods from The Very Hungry Caterpillar book. Tap on them to punch out a hole, and find out if you did it right. The music is by Mozart, the art is by Eric Carle, and the game is by the creators of the renowned Peekaboo Barn. We designed it to entertain your child while gradually developing their number skills.
- LEVEL 1: Counting. This level teaches cause and effect and introduces the concept of counting. Kids will also practice with the names and symbols for numbers one through twelve.
- LEVEL 2: Vocabulary. In this level kids identify fruit and food within a larger set of different foods, deciding which food to eat and what to leave untouched.
- LEVEL 3: Quantity. Identify a specific amount of fruit and food within a larger set. For example, see twelve plums but only eat five. Unlike Level 1, kids can't just tap everything they see!
- LEVEL 4: Addition. Count and eat a specific number of different foods within a set. For example: See five apples, two slices of salami, one ice-cream cone, and four lollipops. Children must eat just one lollipop and two apples. When they do, they will learn they took three bites: this introduces the basic concept of addition.
- LEVEL 5: The Game. Now put all your skills together—with a time limit! Fruits and foods keep sliding into view while kids try to eat what the Caterpillar asks them to find. There is only one minute, so think (and eat) fast! *Points are awarded for each correct food that is found, reinforcing basic addition skills.
We were surprised that even toddlers were loving the first levels, while we've been playing Level 5 ourselves. What's more, the game is localized in Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese! Practice your numbers and food words in other languages too. Enjoy!
*UK English is coming shortly in an update.

In a week that that saw a rally in global stock markets and is seeing some of the best Black Friday deals in recent memory, it seems like the world has been able to recapture some sense of normalcy.
Here's the news that caught my attention this week.
Apple to slash prices by up to 15% on Black Friday?
Heads up to our American readers: The Register is reporting that in an effort to boost sales on today's Black Friday, Apple may be slashing some prices by 15% as part of its "one-day-only holiday shopping event."
Such discounts would certainly be gobbled up by Apple fans looking for iSavings.
Of course, what's good for consumers isn't necessarily good for companies. Apple, with its legion of loyal customers and successful track record of blending substance with style, has always been able to charge a premium for its products and is one of the few computer and consumer electronics manufacturers that hasn't really been forced to compete on price.
If it does slash prices by 15%, it will be yet another indication of the tough times that have befallen retail.
BBC live streaming starts today
Do you watch BBC One and BBC Two? Now you don't even have to leave your desk to do so. Live feeds of bothchannels are now available online and via some mobile devices.
Although some programming will not be shown due to licensing restrictions, the BBC's Jana Bennett says that the launch of BBC One and BBC Two online streaming "completes our commitment" to make the BBC's programming available online.
Unfortunately, that's not entirely the case if you don't live in the UK as BBC One and BBC Two live streaming are available only to UK residents.
While I understand the reasons why certain programs can't be shown online and why services like this are geographically restricted, it's my hope that as online distribution becomes more and more important to rights holders, licensing arrangements will be streamlined to ensure that great content can be easily viewed by those who want it.
Online Ad Sector Showing Signs of Strain
According to eMarketer, tough times are ahead for the internet advertising industry. Earlier this year, the research firm predicted internet advertising would grow by 14.5% in 2009. Today, it believes that growth will be a far more subdued 8.9% and "only" 10.9% in 2010.
For those involved in search advertising, however, the overall slowdown in online advertising may actually be a slight boon for business.
eMarketer's David Hallerman believes that search advertising will fare far better than its display advertising cousin because of 3 letters - ROI.
He states:
"When budgets are tight, companies look to make the most cost-effective purchases they can. That's one reason why display advertising will be far flatter than search. It's harder to show a return on investment, and it's not as effective in getting action from the audience."
While display advertising will likely always be a part of the media buyer's online mix, the dirty little secret that most brand advertisers know is that CPM-based advertising generally "just doesn't work." Search advertising when done well, on the other hand, often does.
From my perspective, the downturn will have some tangible benefits for both advertisers and publishers. As money moves to the places with the greatest perceived ROI, we'll see very clearly which emperors have clothes and which ones do not.
YouTube Embraces Widescreen, Paves the Way for Hollywood Features
As YouTube increasingly recognizes that high-quality, professional content is key to its financial future, it has rolled out an update that plays all video in a widescreen (a 16:9 aspect ratio) format as opposed to its former format (a 4:3 aspect ratio).
Now that YouTube is focusing on professional content and offers some video in HD format, the new aspect ratio was all but a requirement.
Of course, while most of us love to say "change is good," YouTube's update was met with the predictable user complaints that seem all but guaranteed when popular services change anything.
As Webmonkey points out, YouTube could have taken a more user-centric approach and given users the ability to choose which format is used when videos are uploaded.
Once again, sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious when it comes to rolling out new features. That's why getting feedback from users at all stages of development is so important.
Spam increasing again after shutdown of hosting company
Two weeks ago, I noted reports that the volume of spam emails being sent had dropped remarkably following the shuttering of California-based hosting firm McColo Corp. The Washington Post reported that the company may have been providing the backbone responsible for up to 75% of all spam.
While McColo's demise and the associated decrease in spam was very good news for Internet users, it was inevitably news that was too good to last.
According to Symantec-owned MessageLabs, spam volume is on the rise again. It's up to 37% of what it was before McColo went offline, showing that spammers are quickly adapting to the situation and moving to get the central servers that control their botnets reconstituted elsewhere.
While MessageLabs' Matt Sergeant notes "We've increased [the spammers'] costs and, hopefully, that might put some spammers out of business," it appears that until individuals stop buying the products that are advertised in spam emails, there will always be enough money in spam to make the cat and mouse game profitable.
Restaurateur tracks down bill dodgers on Facebook
You don't have to be as famous as Bono for information posted on Facebook to get you in trouble.
An Australian restaurant owner who was stiffed by five young customers who left before they remembered to pay their bill used the world's most popular social network to track them down.
The diners' $340 free meal was the perfect heist except for the fact that one of the diners had asked about a waitress that used to work at the restaurant. The owner called her up and she suggested that he look at her Facebook contacts.
That led to the culprits, a payment in the amount of $340 and a generous tip.
While such stories are somewhat amusing, they do highlight the very serious fact that it's hard to maintain any level of anonymity in today's world, especially when you're using social networking services.
Of course, that's usually less of a problem for those who don't steal than it is for those who do.

Lovie Smith spent the past year watching lots of football, analyzing himself and preparing for his next job in the NFL.
"How many times in life do you get a chance to take a break and really evaluate everything that you've done and who you are as a man in every situation. That's what I was able to do," Smith said Monday after being formally introduced as the new coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, charged with the task of transforming a struggling team into a championship contender.
"From fending off wild monkeys in Costa Rica with my wife ... to just analyzing every situation that came up," in his first NFL head coaching stint with the Chicago Bears, he added. "I'm a football fan, and I think every time I saw something related to football it helped me, and I just put myself in those situations to make me a better football coach now."
Smith won 10 games in 2012 — his last season in Chicago — but was fired after missing the playoffs for the fifth time in six years.
The Bucs haven't made the playoffs since 2007 and haven't won a postseason game since a Super Bowl run in 2002 produced the franchise's only NFL title.
The Glazer family that owns the team expects the drought to end with the hiring of Smith, a one-time Bucs assistant who coached the Bears from 2004 to 2012, winning 81 games and three division championships over nine seasons. Chicago appeared in two NFC title games and one Super Bowl under him.
And, he's confident he has what it takes to lead the Bucs back among the league's elite.
"When you get fired on 10-6, that's not saying that you don't know what you're doing. When you get fired, and your last three years are 12 wins and an NFC championship game, eight wins after you lose your quarterback when you're 7-3 and then 10-6, that's not saying let me change everything because you got this whole thing (wrong). So, we're just going to tweak, and then go from there."
Smith replaces Greg Schiano, fired last week after compiling an 11-21 record over the past two years, including a 4-12 finish that included an 0-8 start this season.
"We focused on finding a strong leader with a proven and established track record. We searched for a man who not only would command respect among his players, but stand tall as a symbol for our team," Bucs co-chairman Bryan Glazer said during a news conference at the team's training facility.
"It was easy. Not because we knew Lovie from his previous time here, but because he fit our criteria perfectly," Glazer added. "It was obvious he was the right man at the right time for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Smith served as Tampa Bay's linebackers coach under Tony Dungy from 1996 to 2000, then spent four seasons as defensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams before landing his first job as a head coach in Chicago.
The 55-year-old led the Bears to the Super Bowl during the 2006 season, losing to the Dungy-led Indianapolis Colts.
He said will forever be grateful to Dungy for giving him his first job in the NFL and allowing him to be part of a staff that laid the foundation for what would become a dominant Super Bowl-winning defense.
"There was a certain brand of football you expected from us every week," Smith said. "We have gotten away from that a little bit, but it's time for us to become relevant again."
And, he believes many of the pieces are already in place in Tampa Bay, including All-Pros Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David and Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis.
The Bucs ranked 17th in the NFL in total defense this season, but were dead last in passing and total offense with rookie quarterback Mike Glennon making 13 starts.
Smith said he expects to have a balanced offense based on a power running game built around running back Doug Martin. He's impressed with what he's seen of Glennon and envisions a productive rushing attack creating opportunities to throw the ball downfield to receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams.
"I really like the foundation that's here in place for us to make a quick climb," Smith said.
One of the coach's first orders of business after agreeing to a five-year contract was hiring former California coach Jeff Tedford as offensive coordinator. Leslie Frazier, fired last week after three-plus seasons as coach of the Minnesota Vikings, is Tampa Bay's new defensive coordinator.

BARNEGAT LIGHT, NJ — Scientists are reviewing tsunami-like waves that were observed along the southern New Jersey coast earlier this month.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center says it happened during the afternoon of June 13 in close conjunction with a weather system known as a low-end derecho. The tsunami was detected by more than 30 tide gauges.
Brian Coen told observers he was spear fishing near the mouth of Barnegat Inlet when he spotted a strong outgoing tide expose rocks before he saw a wave 6-feet high span the inlet.
Two of three people who were swept off the rocks of the jetty by the wave required medical attention.
Scientists say it's also possible the slumping at the Continental Shelf east of New Jersey played a role.

Quincy Jones And Sir Michael Caine To Celebrate Their 80th Birthday From Las Vegas At The MGM Grand Garden Arena
Star-Studded Gala to Benefit Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health will feature music and film's biggest stars
Jan 23, 2013, 10:30 EST
